Claudia

Haha liking ginger is pretty important :D

David

Serisouly chap if you like ginger and dark chocolate then give them a try.

Rachel

You better give him a nudge in the direction of your 'list' soon! The day is fast approaching.

George

No worries chap - as long as you come back :)

Trust me there are plenty more Hotel Chocolat reviews to come in the coming weeks.

Freddy

I would take Nick's advice and go straight for the good stuff my friend. You won't regret it.

Nick

Good advice :D

Alan

I think it is probably more expensive than most other additive flavours ... I can't imagine why else it wouldn't be used as much. When the combination is done properly it is one of my all time favourites. I agree about the Pink font ... maybe it was for stand out!?

Ana

Well there you go Alan ... Ana likes the packaging :D so I guess it was just us who didn't. Ana it is such a shame Hotel Chocolate aren't in Germany! You should put an order in some time. They ship abroad I think.

Steven

Good to hear someone else thought just as much of them than I did. It is alwayus great to hear what other people think of the products I review.

Paul

Most times they do live up to their premiuim price but like all manufactures they have their slip ups.

Pamela

I will be reviewing valentines day stuff starting on Thursday. I hope you enjoy the reviews.

Lauren

Please take a look ---> http://www.chocolatemission.net/2009/04/april-14th-hotel-chocolat-ginger-tangs.html

Antonia

I can understand ginger isn't for everyone :D

Emma

I use a 8 mega pixel Olympus (not sure of the model). Sometimes I used my old mans camera though ... I can check with him what make and model that is! It is far better than mine.

Phil

The Lindt bar is very good and I have reviewed it since your request. I think that review will be up in the coming month ... there are so many at the moment that are jumping the order due to Valentines day / Easter etc!

Anon #1

It is a shame isn't it. A lot of my US readers always say this! Lets hope they expand further in the US in the near future.

Thanks everyone I always enjoy your contributions. More Hotel chocolate reviews coming this week!

JIM

2010-01-25T19:13:14.951Z

These sound really nice. I never used to like chocolate and ginger but ever since having Lindt's dark ginger bar I've been hooked.

2010-01-25T18:05:49.254Z

p.s. I love your review today. You obviosuly liked these loads looking at the score. What camera do you have? Sorry I am a bit of a photography geek (I am a photography A-Level student).

2010-01-25T18:04:06.704Z

Lol Pamela I was going to ask Jim the same thing. I want to know what I should nudge my boyrfriend in the direction of. Go on Jim please review some for us.

Ginger? Why on earth would someone want to do this to perfectly good chocolate?

2010-01-25T13:53:52.759Z

Can I request you review Hotel Chocolat's Ginger Tangs please Jim? I buy them all the time (they are relatively cheap in comparison to their slabs) and they are one of my favourites. I would love to hear what you think of them.

Thanks, Lauren

Are you reviewing valentines day chocolates this year jim or are you not buying in to the fad?

2010-01-25T12:10:17.411Z

I think that goes without saying steven. It is very rare that hotel chocolat don't live up to the prices they charge.

2010-01-25T12:02:44.852Z

I can add my own recommendation to Jim's these are delicious. For some they make think they are a little pricey but I think they are well worth the money.

2010-01-25T10:57:43.664Z

These look very cool, not sure about the slightly bizarre pink font on the box though! I like ginger and chocolate and so does dad but whereas he doesn't mind it in chunks (so he'd like these) I find it too much in this form. It's a pity it's not utilised a bit more often though in chocolate lines.

2010-01-25T10:42:36.619Z

Freddy I wouldn't start off with a poor alternative. Why not just start off with the best in the market. In hotel chocolat we trust.

2010-01-25T08:27:00.356Z

I love ginger but I have only really tried it with savoury foods like in with stir frys etc. I will try chocolate and ginger together in a cheaper form first but who knows if I will like it.

Yuck I really don't like ginger so I will pass on ...

2010-01-25T08:16:37.685Z

Yuck I really don't like ginger so I will pass on these.

2010-01-25T07:55:50.471Z

sorry i did not post this weekend i was away visiting relatives. i used to love it when you started every week with a hotel chocolate review so this is a nice blast from the past.
the only problem is that you give me a real hankering for some of their chocolate and i can never get to one of their shops until the next weekend :(

I will have to inform my boyfriend that these are ...

2010-01-25T07:52:56.067Z

I will have to inform my boyfriend that these are on the acceptable list for valentines day this year.

Lol every year for the past three he has bought me something from Hotel Chocolat or Thorntons so I hope he doesn't change that.
